My question is what is the maximum load taken by beam of UB 610 x 229 x 125Kg/m for a span of 5 mtr?
its supported on both side by anchoring on concrete beam.
its for roofingberkeman said:Welcome to the PF.
What is the application? What is your background in ME?

The maximum load that a beam can support depends on several factors, such as the type of material, the size and shape of the beam, and the span of the beam. It is typically determined by performing calculations using engineering principles and considering the safety factor.
The maximum load of a beam is calculated by considering its dimensions, material properties, and the applied forces. The calculations involve determining the bending moment and shear forces acting on the beam and comparing them to the beam's capacity to resist these forces.
Yes, the maximum load of a beam can be increased by using a stronger material, increasing the size of the beam, or adding support columns or beams. However, these changes must be carefully calculated and designed to ensure the overall stability and safety of the structure.
If a beam is loaded beyond its maximum capacity, it can result in structural failure, which can lead to collapse and potential injury or damage. It is important to always adhere to the recommended maximum load for a beam to ensure the safety and stability of the structure.
To determine the maximum load of a beam in your project, you can consult with a professional structural engineer who can perform the necessary calculations and provide recommendations based on the specific requirements and conditions of your project.
